    We stay often. We're always made to feel welcome. The rooms are comfortable, with air-conditioning and baths in many. A nice hotel.

    Good location, comfortable, welcoming, friendly. Ample parking. Brilliant accommodation by staff when I needed a place in the hotel to hold a meeting on my checkout day. One member of staff, Marina really stands out for me, she is so friendly and welcoming every time I stay, nothing is too much trouble, but at the same time very professional. Thank you Marina!

    Room had warm areas in floor - seemed like hot water pipes - which made the room too warm for me with window closed, with window open too much road noise (was at front if hotel). Would definitely stay again though.

    Great helpful staff, good breakfast and clean room.

    It wasn’t exceptionally cheap but worth paying to be pampered a little. However spoiled somewhat by long, long wait for hot water from the basin (in fact it didn’t always come). Bath & shower were fine

    Spacious, comfortable room and bed, staff were courteous and helpful, food etc all excellent. But no dinner service on Sunday of arrival so we had to visit pub just over the road.

    The weather had turned cold and we found the room pretty cold upon arrival. It took us a while to work out how to heat it up, and were eventually successfu, but not before some discomfort. We also couldn't open the wardrobe doors. The bathroom was a little sparse, and and was also a cold room.

    We had a large room which was nice and quiet for a Saturday night. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was very nice, thank you.

    Ideal for my 2 night stay
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Standard Single Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    No door signs to let know if you need service or to be left alone. If I am staying somewhere for just one or two nights I prefer not to have someone come in and remake my bed etc, I like to find things how I left them. On this occasion I was lucky enough to nab the cleaning lady who very kindly accepted my request and just provided me with more milk. Pillows very uncomfortable, too hard (as have been in most other hotels I have stayed at lately) Breakfast option would have been nice but way too pricey at £15 when all you may want is a bit of toast with an egg on it!

    Good room, clean, tidy and spacious. Pretty much everything I needed. Good location with chippy right next door and convenience store just opposite and co-op up the road. plenty of parking, pretty big hotel with lots of rooms.

    Only stayed for one night for family event but nothing I didn't like

    Room was very comfortable very clean and modern. Staff more than helpful.. lovely comfortable bed, slept well. Breakfast was very good and cooked to order. Continental breakfast plentiful only slight criticism is the croissants needed warming before serving. Not very flaky and was a little disappointing but other than that very good

    The fried eggs were runny and not well cooked enough - as had been specifically requested.

    There was no sound proofing in the rooms and we were woken by noisy guests in the early hours who were running around the corridors, shouting and knocking loudly on other doors. The rooms definitely need better doors on them

    Staff were exceptionally helpful, kind and polite.
